If you're experiencing issues with downloading PortableApps Platform 26.0, there may be a few reasons why this is happening. One potential cause could be an issue with Internet Explorer (IE) itself. As Side note: I installed a fresh copy of PA.c Platform 14.4.3 on my Windows 7 clean virtual machine and was able to install Firefox, Google Chrome, and McAfee Stinger without issue.

The PortableApps Updater/App Store uses the same Windows networking components as Internet Explorer does. This means that if IE can't download files, then our updater can't either. It's a freeware app, so it is hosted on our servers, not on SourceForge.

In order to troubleshoot this issue, be sure you are able to download McAfee Stinger, Mozilla Firefox, and Google Chrome from our site using Internet Explorer on the affected computer. If these downloads are successful, then the problem may lie with IE itself rather than the PortableApps Platform.

Another option is to try downloading Balabolka Portable on the affected machine. If there were an issue with this download on your 64-bit machine, you would not even know which apps are out of date as it couldn't get the database. There's no difference in the update process between 32-bit Windows and 64-bit Windows other than which version of 7-Zip is used to unzip the updater database.

All of these apps are hosted on SourceForge, so if you're able to download them successfully, then the issue may not be with our servers or the PortableApps Platform itself. By following these troubleshooting steps, you should be able to identify and resolve any issues that are preventing you from downloading PortableApps Platform 26.0.
